Hi Pablo The only current allowed values are event and persistent. I am not quite sure what process might mean in this context. This was clearly some philosophical musing when the spec was written but I have not come across a need for this when modelling so far. I have requested a change to allow a persistent composition to have a context attribute , currently disallowed. Episodic care such as hospital admission does throw up the need for persistent compositions to carry the context of the episode but persist throughout that episode. eg a problem list for the current admission.

I understand the "event" and "persistent" values for the Composition.category property. There is also a "process" value, but I don't understand the difference between "event" and "process". The specs are not clear here: "Indicates what broad category this Composition is belogs to, e.g. ?persistent? - of longitudinal validity, ?event?, ?process? etc." Any thoughts? -- Kind regards, Ing.
